For Study Partners & Loved Ones
Is Your Loved One at Risk?
If your loved one is at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, let’s explore options together. Those at risk can participate in a clinical research study exploring potential treatment options. During the screening process, they can take an investigational blood test for a biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease to see if they are at risk.
Is Your Loved One in the Early Stages?
If your loved one is experiencing the initial symptoms of Alzheimer’s, dealing with memory loss and other symptoms can be challenging. It can spur a range of emotions for people when they are initially diagnosed, and caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s means that you are experiencing it alongside them. It is natural to feel tired, or worried, or even overwhelmed.
People with early Alzheimer’s disease often function independently, which is why some prefer the term “partner” over “caregiver.” Your loved one may still do many of the same activities as they did before. During this stage, it’s important to provide support and companionship as you plan for the future.

How You Can Help
As a loved one, you are a partner, a friend, a health consultant, an advocate, and you may be highly involved in the decision-making process when it comes to potential options. If your loved one is at risk or in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, they may be able to take part in a research study exploring ways to get ahead of memory loss.
